Steve Moakler shares a personal and heartwarming new music video for his track, “Slow Down.” Capturing snippets from being out on the road, and personal moments between Steve, wife Gracie and newborn son Jackson, the “home-video” style brings “Slow Down” to life. Check out the video below, or click here.
“The heart behind #SlowDown has come full-circle in my life” Moakler shares via social media. “We kicked off the Born Ready album cycle about a year ago with a highway anthem… From there, we embarked on two national tours where lived out the words to that song. We had no idea that Gracie was pregnant, and the fact that we found out in the middle of the “Born Ready” tour is truly comical to me.”
“Slow Down” has a personal meaning for the singer/songwriter and is becoming a way of life for Moakler as he shares that he is going to take a break from the road for a bit.
“Anyway, over 70 shows and 20,000 miles later, our son Jackson arrived and I’m finally giving the tires a little break from spinning” Moakler reveals. “It was a wild ride to get to here, and I’m thankful for all the memories we made with you guys before we pulled back into the driveway. We appreciate all the love and support! I hope you enjoy this mini-video!”
“Slow Down” can be found on his latest album, Born Ready, which is available now. Check out the album here.
The Reviver Entertainment Group is proud to announce the signing of MULTI-PLATINUM Country chart-toppers THOMPSON SQUARE. The award-winning husband-and-wife duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson have inked a worldwide recording deal that includes publishing – joining the Reviver family with a fresh level of excitement for their new creative era.
Known for the 2X-PLATINUM #1 smash “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not” (Country radio’s most-played song of 2011), the PLATINUM-certified #1 “If I Didn’t Have You” and more, Keifer and Shawna unleashed a new blast of creativity with 2018’s MASTERPIECE. Inspired by the birth of their son Cooper in 2016, the duo’s third studio album mixes Country-rock intensity with soulful R&B and adventurous grooves, plus the couple’s signature romantic connection and tender, family-focused themes.
Joining forces with Reviver marks the beginning of a much-anticipated new chapter for the duo, and for their global fanbase.
“Thompson Square has written and recorded a brilliant project in MASTERPIECE,” says Reviver Records President Gator Michaels. “In addition to being incredibly talented, Keifer and Shawna are wonderful people. We couldn’t be more proud to have them join our family at Reviver Entertainment.”
“We have found a group of like-minded people who are as passionate about our music and career as we are,” says Thompson Square. “David, Gator and Bob have a vision that is exciting and motivating, and we cannot wait to get to work. We’re looking forward to this next chapter, and we couldn’t be surrounded by a better collection of talented and tenured individuals.”
In addition to MASTERPIECE, Keifer and Shawna recently released a stunning music video for the project’s title track, with Sounds Like Nashville hailing it as “a work of art in itself” and Billboard noting it features “all the musical elements of a Country classic.” Shot and produced by Evan Kaufmann and filmed at the Coleman Theatre in Keifer’s hometown of Miami, Oklahoma, the video captures the story of the Thompson family history – complete with home videos – intertwining the tale with an intimate live performance of the track.
Meanwhile, the duo has also written and released a children’s book titled TIME TO GET DRESSED. Born from warm-hearted memories of the couple’s daily ritual with Cooper, and the song Keifer would sing to help him through it, the cute and colorful lesson book was illustrated by Ana Patankar and is available now.
Looking ahead, Thompson Square is gearing up for a summer tour to promote the critically acclaimed MASTERPIECE. Select dates are already on tap in Menifee, California (3/30); Grand Rapids, MI (4/5); and Kent, OH (4/6); with more information coming soon.

GREETINGS FROM…JAKE features the PLATINUM-selling #1 smash “I Was Jack (You Were Diane)” and current Top 10-and-climbing single “Down To The Honkytonk,” which garnered a nomination for Single of the Year at the upcoming 54th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards.

Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville recording artist Devin Dawson is deeply connected to his home state of California. That’s why the Orangeville native has just announced the “California Smoke” Tour, which gets its name from lyrics in his current single “Dark Horse” and features stops in The Golden State only.
All proceeds from the six-date headlining run will go straight to the California Fire Foundation, aiding them in providing emotional and financial assistance to firefighters, their families and the communities they protect.
Additionally, this tour offers two unique opportunities for fans to gift a VIP experience and/or a pair of tickets to those affected by the wildfires (MORE INFO HERE).
“One of the reasons I’m stoked about this tour is because, as a California native, it’s a place very close to my heart, so I always jump at the chance to be back there,” said Dawson. “I don’t get to visit my family who still live there as often as I’d like, much less have an opportunity to play multiple shows throughout the state.”
“The fact that all the proceeds from these shows will also go toward helping people affected by the California wildfires makes it that much more special to me. We chose the California Fire Foundation because their outreach covers entire communities affected by these fires, including firefighters and their families, offering both emotional and financial support.”
“I’m so excited to get this tour started and give back to my home state in a more personal way. Hopefully it brings everyone a little joy and happiness at least while the music is playing.”
The recently engaged singer/songwriter also just premiered the official music video for “Dark Horse” (WATCH HERE) at an exclusive VIP watch party in Nashville. The song is the third single and title track off his critically-acclaimed debut LP, which was named one of 2018’s best country albums by Esquire, Rolling Stone and Billboard. Called “one of country music’s most tender and articulate wordsmiths” by The Tennessean, Dawson co-wrote every song on the album, which arrived at Top 3 and Top 5 on Billboard’s Country Albums Charts.

As Chris Lane’s hard-crushing single “I Don’t Know About You” continues to climb the charts and garner millions of streams, the track’s music video has surpassed 20 MILLION views in less than 5 months since its premiere on CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown. The video is holding strong in the Top 5 most on-demand streamed clips YTD in the U.S. of all Country videos released in the last year (Nielsen Music).
The Big Loud Records star takes his acting skills to the next level in the video, with the views clocking in at such a rapid rate that it’s become his fastest-climbing video to date. Directed by Justin Clough and shot outside Nashville, TN, the video is set in a small-town bar, where Lane spends all night trying to learn the name of a mystery girl he spots at the moment he walks in — seeking the answer to the first question of the song’s catchy chorus — “What’s your name? What’s your sign? What’s your birthday?”
Watch the “I Don’t Know About You” music video and see the surprise twist ending.
The fan-favorite track is inspiring massive sing-alongs across the country, evidenced on Lane’s headline LAPS AROUND THE SUN TOUR that wrapped earlier this year. Wall-to-wall crowds will get a first-hand look at the song’s buzzworthy live impact when he starts the party on the second leg of sold-out DAN + SHAY THE TOUR. Then, he will serve as direct support for Brad Paisley’s 2019 WORLD TOUR beginning May 30 in Albuquerque, NM. Lane will perform overseas for the first time ever as he joins Paisley for international dates in 7 European countries.
